Ive used it with cubase 5 and 7 with no issues.

Tried that at Olympus, and it didn't go over well.

When I was little, I always kept track of my lives in Adventures of Link. Because, if I died, and I knew the game over screen was coming up, I would sprint to that f@$!ing NES and turn the game off before Gannon's scary ass face and laugh came on the screen.

I try to mix it up on replays, but I just can't bring myself to use Gau or Cait Sith. Especially since they get in the way of my OCD romantic-pair thing. Though I did do the imp trick with Gau once, and that wasn't so bad.

I used to say the same thing before my bosses shifted my schedule. If I work out in the afternoons, now, I'm there at peak time and my day wouldn't really end until 6:30. That, to me, is much worse than being at the gym at 6:15 every morning but being totally done at 5.

Hak, I just read this. I also just finished my arrangement of this song for the album. I think you'll be happy.

I never mentioned this, but my profile pic for Fitocracy is me literally standing on the site of the first Olympics.

I always put romantic pairs together when building parties. Locke and Celes were ALWAYS in the same party, for example.

I kind of got tired of putting in my data into Fitocracy, but maybe I'll start up again. Also, I work out in the mornings and the computers at work have a browser that's too old to input stuff into Fitocracy, so by the end of the day I've forgotten about it. I've been majorly slacking lately. I try to get to the gym 4 times and week and do something physical (running, parkour, hiking) at least 1 other time a week, but I haven't worked out since Saturday. Also, working out in the mornings means I have a mental battle every day when the alarm goes off. Do I get extra sleep, or do I go work out? Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose...

You saw my room in the other thread. The only thing it's treated with is 1970's design principles.

I have a pair of KRK Rokit 6s. They sound great, but I've noticed a problem - every time I give a mix to someone they tell me there's all kinds of low/mid mud. It sounds perfect in the monitors, though. Then, I'll play it in my car, or something, and I can definitely hear the mud. I'm thinking about grabbing a studio sub to see if I can't tweak it a bit so I don't have to do so much back and forth.

Sometimes you just gotta grieve. Listen to something somber and morose - that's OK, too. If you want something uplifting, you could try listening to mine and Theophany's Clocktown remix. It's all happy and bright.

Ha, that's actually a walk-out basement. God, the living room? I'd never get anything done and all my takes would have background noise in them.

Dude, the studio needs some serious work, both aesthetically and ergonomically. I just haven't come up with a plan yet. That wood paneling is just gross, and the desk is nice, but not built for what I need it for. It's also acoustically bad - and behind those 1/8" thick wood panels is the LAUNDRY ROOM AND FURNACE. So I get all that lovely ambient noise. Synth is a Moog Little Phatty.

Last year, when my studio was above ground with a leaky window that let all sorts of ambient noise in, I actually covered myself with a memory-foam topper while playing. I would make like, a little kid blanket fort using the foam topper, using the mic stand as the tent pole. It made playing exceedingly uncomfortable, but it actually worked.

...I want crabs, now, thanks, assholes.

Been long enough before I posted this. Here's the cave.

I've never actually contributed to a kickstarter before in my life. I guess I had to start sometime! Good luck with the project Jill. Edit: Totally just tweeted the backing to ALL FIFTY of my twitter followers. You're going to be famous. I swear most of them aren't friends and family...

I've probably run about 10 miles in my vibram 5-fingers so far, and despite it being really awkward and taking a lot of concentration to keep my stride and posture in line, I don't feel as though I am injuring myself. I've also notified my wife that I will probably have the sexiest calf muscles on the east coast if I keep running on my toes like this, because wow were those muscles sore.

Oh. Well, eff. That's what I get for not reading all of these. I thought I remembered reading an earlier post about how you were trying to solve some health problems. My bad.

I don't have the time to read all of the stuff you guys have been talking about, but I will offer one piece of anecdotal evidence: my wife. Back in 2008, my wife started having some really, really serious health issues centered around her digestion. She tried EVERYTHING. She saw gastro specialists in two different countries, and EACH ONE told her something conflicting. I won't go into details, but it was bad. Really bad. Like, we thought we'd never be able to have children because her body was shutting down kind of bad. My wife switched to something very similar to the whole 30 you guys were talking about before. She had a complete lifestyle switch, and followed the scdlifestyle.com guidelines. That's how she got involved in that culture of health - one which ecto is pretty much quoting from - and that's how I know viacariously what I know. Once she did that, life changed within 1 month. The stories I've heard from other people are seeing thing like CANCER go away. Parkensons. Chrone's. ADHD/ADD. Outrageous degenerative diseases that don't even seem to have a connection to a diet have totally vanished from people that ascribe to ecto's philosophy. "Mountains of evidence" have been accumulated to attempt to prove very silly things in the past, and ecto's counterargument is pretty effective. Red meat from feedlots just isn't the same as grass fed beef. But, honestly, I don't care. I don't care about studies or statistics or whatever - I have a wife who isn't dead and a new daughter, and I guarantee you that it had everything to do with the diet changes my wife made. Anyway, that's all I'll offer. I've mentioned before that I try not to stress about it all. To me, reading studies by our medical profession is too stressful for me to really care - I have the answer living with me every day because she didn't listen to doctors who told her to eat more bread and that she just had IBS and that she just had to deal with it. edit: Zircon are you doing whole 30? My wife "challenged" me to do it and I might give it a chance for the month of May. Let me know how you feel! I will give you this advice: When my wife changed her diet, about 3-4 days into it she felt awful. They call that "die-off" because your gut flora is re-balancing itself. DON'T GIVE UP. Give it at least 7-10 days before you throw in the towel (and after that long, you won't). And check out scdlifestyle.com - there are soooooo many stories just like yours.
